Abstract
The disclosure relates to a robot, for example for patient positioning, comprising a robot arm with a plurality of robot elements, which are connected to one another by means of shaft units. The shaft units define a respective at least one movement axis of the robot arm. The robot arm comprises a first end region, which permits an arrangement in a surrounding area of the robot, and a second end region, on which an end effector can be arranged. A first shaft unit arranged after the first end region defines a first rotational axis of the robot arm. The robot arm can be arranged in the surrounding area by means of the first end region in such a way that the first rotational axis runs at an angle transverse to the surrounding area.
Claims17
Robot, for example for patient positioning, comprising a robot arm with a plurality of robot elements, which are connected to one another by means of shaft units,
- wherein the shaft units each define at least one movement axis of the robot arm,
- wherein the robot arm comprises a first end region, which permits arrangement on a surrounding area of the robot via a plate-shaped component defining a substantially horizontal plane, wherein the first end region is directly coupled to the plate-shaped component, wherein the first end region further comprises a connection plane defining a plane of the direct coupling between the first end region and the plate-shaped component, and a second end region, on which an end effector can be arranged,
- wherein a first shaft unit arranged after the first end region defines a first rotational axis of the robot arm, and
- wherein the robot arm is be arranged by the first end region in such a way on the surrounding area that the first rotational axis runs at a non-orthogonal angle with respect to the surrounding area, with respect to the plate-shaped component and with respect to the connection plane of the first end region, wherein the surrounding area comprises a substantially horizontal spatial plane and the robot is adapted to fasten the robot arm via the first end region on the horizontal spatial plane such that the angle of the first rotational axis is between approx. 40° and approx. 50° with respect to the surrounding area.
Robot, for example for patient positioning, comprising a robot arm with a plurality of robot elements, which are connected to one another by means of shaft units,

- wherein a first shaft unit arranged after the first end region defines a first rotational axis of the robot arm,
- wherein the robot arm is be arranged by the first end region in such a way on the surrounding area that the first rotational axis runs at a non-orthogonal angle with respect to the surrounding area, with respect to the plate-shaped component and with respect to the connection plane of the first end region, wherein the surrounding area comprises a substantially horizontal spatial plane and the robot is adapted to fasten the robot arm via the first end region on the horizontal spatial plane such that the angle of the first rotational axis is between approx. 40° and approx. 50° with respect to the surrounding area,
- wherein the connection plane substantially encloses a same angle with the first rotational axis as the surrounding area,
- wherein said robot arm further comprises a second shaft unit arranged after the first shaft unit and which defines a second rotational axis of the robot arm, and
- wherein the robot arm comprises a third shaft unit arranged after the first and second shaft unit, which third shaft unit defines a third rotational axis of the robot arm, and, optionally, also fourth and fifth shaft units arranged after the third shaft unit, which units define corresponding fourth and fifth rotational axes of the robot arm.
